The latest craze which has struck the
Washington belle is the carrying Of canes.
A few weeks ago a young leader in society
returned from England, and the next day
she surprised her friends by appearing on

cane, but a nice little stick with shep-

inspecting the Baltimore Manual Training School,

Board. This institution was established about
four years ago and has succeeded-fa beyond the

seems to be in the noble work. The school now
has about 275 pupils. Those who are residents of

What is all this talk about legislation for the

all the time putting on the tax. Take the tax Of

ONE WAY OUT OF THE DIFFICULTY

BALTIMORE COUNTY, Dec. Oath, 1887.
Messrs. Editors In the great contest now rag
ing between the various banking houses-county
bsnks, sp-cslled, and city banks with rustic SYM
pSthies-all argument, elimination and re-crmi-
nation are vain and futile. We, the dear people,
can but appreciate the phanthropic interest these
soulful corporations have in us when they display
such eager enthusiasm in taking care of our funds.
Whether the election of the incumbent Commits
sioners was due to the efforts of the Towson Bank
or to the subtle labors of certain monetary politi
clans associated with rural banks in the city. are
by-gone questions in the face Of an accomplished
fact-a vainglorious boast of triumph. Every
battle must have its victims of sacrifice, as every
omelette must have its broken eggs. All the VIC
tors cannot be wreathed with laurel nor share the
richest spoils of the battle. Glory must sometimes
be its own exceeding reward.
There is but one practical suggestion to US in
this "great stir" and struggle. It shows we have
in our hands something of value to these belger-
ents. Now give the funds into the custody of the
bank that will agree to pay the highest premium
for their deposit. Let this proposition be the
longest pole to reach this coveted. fruit-this BIZ
ennial chestnut. This will alleviate the Of
the perplexed officials and charm the fancy Of the
dear deluded taxpayers. All other talk upon the
subject is, to use the plain vernacular, twadde
and nonsense to US.
"Sealed proposals" should be the sword to cut
this Gordian knot and assuage the tumut of the
clamoring comorants. RUsTIcUs.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

In our general wish of happy New Year to the
world we include the friends and patrons of The
UNION, of course. They come in first for their
share of our best and warmest wishes, and the
world next. 1t is pleasant in very many respects
to cast stray thought along the line of the past
years history to scan the features of the happy
moments which we have enjoyed and gather all
their loves and pleasures and scenes back again
into our hearts. As we advance in life the years
grow brief-time seems to take wings and replume
them at every goal-but as they shorten, or seem
to shorten, our lives become more fixed and our
characters, as beings of day, more frm-we be-
come more permanent in our feelings, settled in
our principles and fixed in our habits. Although
we make greater advancement in knowledge we
notice it less. The marks of Times finger less
observable and the changes through which we pass
are seemingly not SO frequent.
I, Good friends, this is glorious world in which
we live. "There's no better on EARTH" and we
may add there is no better under heaven. 1t is
all that we can wish consistently with natures,
and it would be unreasonable and unchristianlike
to desire more. True, it would be glorious thing
to live a Thousand years and day longer" in all
the freshness and flower of youth and health, but
we can't-positively can't. Therefore,
"Where's the use of signing
D While Time is on the wing p
Accept, kind friends, our heartiest congratula-
tons, our best wishes for your health and happi-
ness. May those who are married live to enjoy q
"green old age;" may the New Year bring to them
and to us all the blessings of comfort and peace
and may we all lead life that will be useful to
ourselves and to the world. May those who are
single live to see the Terror of their ways" and
the absolute necessity of reforming them that they
may enter into the "Union" for the sake of the
